Hassan Mousavi stated that on Wednesday (February 26), 856 mcm of natural gas were produced and injected into the national grid. He noted that 82% of the total natural gas delivered to the grid was allocated to the household, commercial, and small industrial sectors.

Mousavi emphasized that gas consumption in these sectors increased by 3% compared to the same day last year due to a drop in temperatures across most provinces.

He added that 703 mcm of gas were consumed by households, commercial entities, and small industries.

Following the cold weather and forecasts of further temperature drops, President Masoud Pezeshkian, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad, and other officials urged the public to participate in the "2 Degrees Less" campaign. Through video and written messages, they called for optimal energy use and cooperation in ensuring winter fuel supply.
